Answer 1

Hi
Eat what you like. Write everything you eat down with the calorie count. Just make sure you don't eat more than 1200 calories a day. You'll soon learn what you can and can't eat. Exercise, and I mean SWEAT!! for 30-40 minutes a day. If you really stick to this you'll lose about 2-3 pounds a week. Good luck.

There are hundreds of diets that claim to be effective weight loss strategies. Some are too rigid to be followed for more than a few days and others are effective but only when followed precisely. However, to become truly healthy while losing weight and to keep it off permanently, you will need a LIFESTYLE change that you can stick to. Deprivation is not a lifestyle. To be successful, many of the old habits will have to be replaced by new ones. Believe it or not, junk food is an acquired taste. Ask anyone from out of the country how they like our packaged cookies, candies, and chips, and they will often shrug their shoulders with a “so-so” attitude or express that they are too sweet and too greasy. Unlike us, they have not acquired a taste for these items. Changing our old acquired taste habits like drinking colas to drinking water, or eating fruit instead of chips, takes time, consistency, and patience, but if you can do these kinds of things for just a month or so, you will acquire a taste for the alternative.

Making a few subtle changes to your eating and exercise habits can make the difference. There are certain times of the day when you may just have to have a candy bar or a bag of chips. Or you may be the type of person who hardly eats a thing until night time and then makes up for all the lost calories throughout the course of the evening. Or you may simply eat too much and not get enough exercise. Whatever the case may be, the best way to lose weight is to permanently replace each bad habit with a good habit. What could you eat instead of the candy or the bag of chips that will still satisfy your craving? If it’s chocolate that you want, how about bringing a co-worker a bag or a bar of high quality bite size chocolate and ask them to give you only one a day. This works, of course, only if you don’t swing by the 7/11 or McDonald’s on the way home and if you don’t keep other sweets in your kitchen or desk! Your craving for sugar WILL change if you will wean yourself off of it. To wean yourself off of chips, keep a bag of low fat, healthier choice pretzels in your desk or in your kitchen for when you have to have something crunchy. It’s the small changes that can make a big difference.

I hope this helps...Good Luck!!!

Weight Loss Facts:


Low Fat Foods DON'T WORK.

You cannot lose weight using Low Fat Diets. Low fat foods have been popular for more than 15 years, but yet our society is getting more overweight as each year passes. This fact alone should tell you that eating a purely low fat menu is not the answer to losing weight.

Low Calorie Diets DON'T WORK.

You won't lose weight using a Low Calorie Dieting Plan either. In fact, eating low calories is the worst thing that you can do to your body, since that will only slow down your body's fat burning engine and ruin all chances of losing weight (low calorie diets may allow a few pounds of weight loss for the first few days, but then after that all weight loss comes to a halt --- known as a dieting plateau). You can never get slim by starving yourself.

Low Carb Plans DON'T WORK.

You'll probably find it extremely difficult to get slim using a Low Carb Dieting Plan. Low carb diets have recently become popular over the last couple years, but the problem with low carb menus is that they are too strict and TOO HARD TO FOLLOW for average people. Low carb menus tend to rob your body of too much energy (carbohydrates) and make it nearly impossible to remain on the program for very long. This is why so many dieters find it difficult to follow a strict low carbohydrate menu.

What about Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig Dieting Plans?

Weight loss programs such as Weight Watchers (and Jenny Craig) usually involve slower dieting progress over a longer period of time, since such programs generally promise only 2-3 pounds of weight loss per week. Also, programs such as Jenny Craig usually involve buying special meals and/or dietary supplements during the initial phases of the program. While some people may like these types of dietary programs, we prefer a dieting plan which focuses on faster weight loss, such as the Accelerated Fat Burning Program shown below...

I am 5'5 and weigh 135 I am also 28 and have had 3 kids. Also, I don't know what your eating habits are, but it certainly wouldn't hurt for me to tell you that portion is everything. Instead of eating a whole candy bar, eat half of one, hell, eat HALF of everything you eat and you will never have a weight problem.Drink 8 - 10 glasses of water a day, green tea is very good for your body as an antioxidant and help subtly speed up the metabolism. Salads (without fatty dressings and cheese) are very good for you, chicken is the king of meat in my opinion, as long as you don't fry it. Avoid fast food entirely, and walk anywhere you can as often as possible. Drink diet sodas and juices (aka - cherry coke zero, sobe lean, crystal light, etc.) avoid sugar, switch to the 100 calorie snack packs, including popcorn because it can be a great snack too! Eat apples, they are very filling! Cheese is an unecessary evil as well, so is milk, if you have to have it, drink the fat free kind. 100 calorie popcorn is a great snack. Eat turkey lunchmeat instead of a whole sandwich, etc. Eating is necessary, over eating is not. I also have a meal shake in place of a meal, I find it incredibly helpful at 3:00 in the afternoon.

Answer 5

Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the calorie calculator http://straighthealth.com/pages/tools/caloriecalclb.html This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.
